    This document describes a water level indicator and controller project using a PIC microcontroller. The project uses a water level sensing section to detect the water level and transmit it wirelessly to a receiver section. The receiver section sends the information to a controlling section, which processes the data and provides visual/audio indications and controls a motor. The controlling section uses a PIC microcontroller to monitor the water level using the receiver data and control an LCD display, LEDs, buzzer, and motor accordingly.

    B Y LIG O G E OR G E / 21 7 C O MME N TS

    Here is a simple, versatile project which indicates the level of water and
    automatically controls it by using PIC Microcontroller. The Water Level Sensing
    Section senses the level of water in the tank and sends it (wireless) to the Receiver
    Section. Receiver Section is connected to the Controlling Section, which process the
    received information and produces visual, sound indications and controls the
    operation of the motor whenever required. The project is divide into 4 sections.

    1. Power Supply Section


    Power Supply section provides required supply for Receiver and Controlling
    modules. Receiver module requires +5V power supply. Controller module requires
    +5v and +12v supply. Circuit Diagram:

    Working
    For the transmission and reception of data we have used Holtek encoder-decoder
    pair of HT12E and HT12D. Both of them are CMOS ICs working voltage ranges from
    2.4 to 12v. The oscillator resistances are chosen according to the datasheet. When
    water level raises, the data pins of the encoder will be grounded corresponding to
    the level of water, which will be transmitted to the Receiver via ASK RF module. The
    received data is decoded by the decoder HT12D. LED on the receiver indicates that
    it is receiving data. Then the data is given to the PIC for processing.
    D0

    D1

    D2

    D3

    Status

    All data pins are grounded, indicates tank is Full.

    Water level is below D3 and above D2, indicates High level.

    Water level is below D2 and above D1, indicates Medium level.

    Water level is below D1 and above D0, indicates Low level.

    Water level is below D0, indicates Very Low level.

    When the water level becomes Very Low, the motor will turned ON, buzzer sounds
    and the LCD backlight will automatically turned ON for 5 seconds. After this, when
    the water level reaches Full level, the motor will automatically turned OFF, buzzer
    sounds and the LCD backlight will automatically turned ON for 5 seconds. During

    normal operation you can manually turn on LCD backlight by pressing the Push
    button switch. The LCD indicates the Level of water (Very Low, Low, Medium,
    High,Full) and the status of the motor (ON or OFF). The LED bar will also
    indicate the level of water.
